Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Steady Bites and Calm Conditions

Mornin’ y’all, it’s Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast fishing report for Saturday, November 15th, 2025. The sun came up this morning at 6:25 AM, and it’ll set tonight at 6:14 PM, so you’ve got a good stretch of daylight to get out on the water. Tides are running a little tricky today—there’s just about 36 minutes left until high tide, and the water’s been swinging between a max of 1.0 foot and a low of -0.7 foot, so keep an eye on the flow. The tidal coefficient’s been on the lower side lately, which means the currents aren’t as strong, but that can actually make for some steady bites if you know where to look. Weather’s been mild, no big storms rollin’ in, just a light breeze out of the southeast. That’s good news for the fish—they’re not spooked, and you’ll have a calm day to work your lines. The water’s clear enough, and the temps are just right for redfish, speckled trout, and the occasional flounder. Out around New Canal Station and Slidell, the bite’s been steady. Anglers are bringing in redfish and trout, mostly in the 18-24 inch range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. Some folks are even reporting a few flounder near the deeper channels. The action’s been best in the early morning and late afternoon, especially when the tide’s on the move. For lures, you can’t go wrong with a copper spinner bait—those things are workin’ overtime right now, especially in the shallows. If you’re after trout, try a quarter-ounce spoon or a Rapala CD7 in brown trout or rainbow colors. For redfish, a soft plastic jerkbait or a topwater popper will get their attention. And if you’re feelin’ old school, live shrimp or cut bait still pulls in the big ones. Best spots today? Head out to Shell Beach or the Bayou Bonfouca area—those spots have been hot for redfish and trout. If you’re lookin’ for a little more action, try the Paris Road Bridge or Chef Menteur Pass. The water’s movin’ just enough to keep the fish feedin’, and you’ll have plenty of room to work your magic. Thanks for tuning in, y’all.
